CANADA: Sproutly Canada has entered into a letter of intent with Global Canna Labs Limited, the Caribbean’s largest medical cannabis producer, to establish a joint venture for the purpose of developing, producing, distributing, marketing and selling cannabis infused beverages, edibles and topical products derived from Sproutly’s fully licensed, APP Technology.

“Partnering with Global Canna Labs on this joint venture allows Sproutly to expand its business outside of Canada with a leading, low cost cannabis cultivator in Jamaica that has proven distribution in across the Caribbean and soon to be European Union,” said Keith Dolo, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Sproutly. “This partnership will enable Sproutly to diversify its product portfolio and accelerate its global distribution network from a low-cost regulated jurisdiction.”

Paul Glavine, Chief Executive Officer of Global Canna Labs said, “We are eager to roll out this partnership with Sproutly on their APP technology. We have explored a number of options regarding extraction and cannabis technology solutions for beverage and derivative products – APP Technology is in our view the superior choice for beverage formulations. With our current supply and expansion plans to over 1 million square feet of cultivation, we see this partnership with Sproutly as a step towards utilization of our large-scale production towards a finished-product strategy.”

Proposed Terms of Joint Venture

The joint venture is expected to be structured as a newly formed, jointly owned company with its own board of directors (the “JV”). Sproutly will have a 50% interest and Global Canna Labs will own the remaining ownership interest. Global Canna Labs will be responsible for cannabis biomass production and procurement and day-to-day operations of the JV.

Global Canna Labs is also responsible for all costs relating to producing final products for sale, including any equipment needed to produce beverages, edibles or other cannabis derivatives and will leverage its existing production facility and staff for the JV. These costs will be decided upon by the board along with the determination of the product lines to be produced.

Sproutly will be responsible for providing access to the APP Technology, supplying reagents, and beverage/product formulation capabilities (including its functional beverage formulation portfolio) for products to be formulated from Infuz20 and Bio Natural Oil. The products are expected to be sold in Jamaica and the rest of the Caribbean with potential expansion into additional European countries that allow for the import of cannabis products from Jamaica. The list of jurisdictions and product lines will be finalized and disclosed in the definitive agreement.

The signing of the definitive agreement and establishment of the joint venture is expected to occur in January 2019.
